A DECLARATION OF THE COMMONS Assembled in Parliament c. THe Commons in Parliament having received two severall Letters which were intercepted written and sent by Sir John Brooks sometimes a Member of that House this Parliament till he was disabled being a great Projector and Monopolist and not onely a deserter of the service wherewith he was intrusted for the publique but also a Fomentor of the present bloudy and unnaturall War and actually bearing of arms against the Parliament unto Sir William Killegrew knight a great and principall Factor for the Cavaliers in this Rebellion and Designe residing at Oxford during the late Treaty upon the Propositions for an Accommodation presented unto His Majestie by both Houses whereby as a further concurrent Testimony the good people of this Kingdom and all others that willfully have not blinded themselves holding the Truth in unrighteousnesse not suffering that to appear which in their judgements they cannot gainsay may cleerly discern by whose and what Counsells His Majesty is swayed and is and hath of late bin seduced that the meanest of those that have ingaged themselves in this hellish and Tyrannicall Rebellion do adventure to cast in their Mites their Counsells being as various as their Designes some endeavouring the promoting of the Popish Religion others their own lucre and advancement to make up again their desperate and broken Fortunes by the ruine and destruction of the faithfull of the Land some ambitiously seeking Honor that they may insult over the Lords heritage some to protect themselves from the hand of publique Justice to which they are obnoxious and others hunting for revenge Each of them striving to be the most lying spirit in the mouths of all them that encompasse the Royall Throne who have not onely perswaded but have prevailed also and have made the Nobles and great Men of England for the most part of those that have withdrawn themselves as the Nobles of Israel Destroyers of the work and hinderers of a Reformation the Evidences of which Truths are daily so cleerly discovered by extraordinary and speciall Acts of divine Providence so visible as he that runs may read By these Letters it appears That the Lords and Commons of both Houses who have not lost their first love nor deserted their Trust but have appropriated themselves to the Lords work that have given sufficient Testimony of their Affections to the service and safety of the King and Kingdom are vilified and traduced and that in the highest places by these wicked and seducing Counsellors who not onely work them out of the good opinion of His Majestie but by their wiles are encompassing their Ruine and Destruction have advised that no pardon may be given to the Lords and others that have taken up Arms though in their own defence against them that are declared by the greatest Counsell of the Land to be publique Enemies to the State and that in every County inquisition may be made by such Instruments as the King may best trust and a speciall care taken that none of them may escape that are rich and have good Estates whose Names must be certified speedily to His Majestie that they may be exempted out of the generall Pardon And whereas according to the known Laws of the Land as both the Houses of Parliament by their Declarations of the Seventeenth of January and Second of February 1641. have declared That where there is no Charge against any Member of either House made known to that House of which he is a Member and he is Arrested Attached Indicted or Accused or where their Estates are seized or sequestred which is not made known to such House whereof he is a Member That it is against the Fundamentall Liberties of the Subject the Rights of Parliament and that those that did or should offend therein were guilty of the breach of the Priviledges of the Parliament of the Liberties of the Subjects and publique Enemies to the Common-wealth and thereupon the King himself as appears by His Message of the Twelfth of January following waved His proceedings against the Lord Kimbolton and the Five Members of the House of Commons accused of high-Treason And in his Message of the Twenty fourth of the same Moneth sent to both Houses confesseth His mistake in the way And whereas afterward both the Houses of Parliament declaring in their Petition to His Majestie That it is the undoubted Right and Priviledge of Parliament that no Member of either House of Parliament can be proceeded against without consent of Parliament His Majestie returned in answer the Second of February 1641. That he did find good cause wholly to desert His prosecution against the Lord Kimbolton and five Members Yet the sayd Sir John Brookes as it appeareth by his letters hereafter mentioned and as it is most evident the rest of his fellow Traytors and Rebels that are the pretenders of peace and of governing the Subject according to the known Laws have not only broken through and violated these known Laws so lately declared in Parliament and confessed and consented unto on all hands but contrary to all Law and justice by colour of a Regall power and the Kings Prerogative above the Law presumptuously against all the Rules and Presidents of Law under pretence of a Commission of their own procuring to

them directed have caused divers members of both Houses and divers Gentlemen of Lincolnshire whose names are hereafter recited to be Indicted of High-treason before themselves and have caused their estates to bee seised as forfeited requiring the Tenants of all and every the sayd persons so Indicted forthwith and from time to time as they shall grow due to pay in all the Rents of the sayd Lords and others unto themselves being Commissioners and sharers which is according to the advice given by the said Sir John Brookes in his Letter against the Pardon whose words are How else shall the King pay His debts now made for this Warre and recompence those that have adventured their lives and spent their fortunes and have been undone and if the King will not punish the one and reward his faithfull servants He will be in a worse estate by such a peace than He was at the beginning of this Warre These pretended Commissioners make it criminall to such Tenants as shall refuse to pay in the Rents unto them threatning them with severe punishments for their neglect and contempt These Letters further informe us what advise the Authour hath commended to His Majestie concerning the Members of both Houses That He should not allow of a Treaty with His Parliament before they were all restored That the two Houses may be full of the same Members as at the first insinuating That if the two Houses were so filled the King need not doubt but all things would proceed from them to His Honour and Greatnesse and that the King cannot receive Honor nor Right from the rest that have Traiterously plotted His ruine and overthrow and our Religion Laws and Liberties As he is the first that so bold-fac'dly chargeth the whole Parliament with Treason in the highest degree so it were to be wisht he were the only man that hath put conditions upon the King threatning Him with a new Warre against the King Kingdom and Parliament if His Majesty should conclude a Peace contrary to their advise and would not gratifie them with the estates of such as had borne Arms against them and if the King would permit all those that were for Him to be thrust out He will finde hereafter none to stand for Him The Author of these Letters boasts and glories in that his advise is followed which appears to be most true in this particular for by His Majesties Message to both Houses of the 12 of Aprill 1643. the King Declares That before He would disbandon the Armies which was to precede the Treaty upon the other Propositions He would have all the Members of both Houses to be restored who have been Voted from them as the Message sayes for adhering to His Majestie in these distractions Let the world judge what these men merit instead of a restitution to their places in Parliament who have not only withdrawne themselves from the service but Traiterously have endeavoured to subvert the same our Religion and Liberties and by force to destroy the good people of the Kingdom what a wonderment would it be to restore againe a power to them over the lives estates and liberties of those who first sent them to serve in Parliament that already threaten to turn their power against them to their ruine and destruction being confident they shall carry things as they list if the Houses were filled as at first The Author in his last letter tels us That His Majesties last Message to the Houses of Parliament was according to his heart and for the most part the same which he formerly sent to Sir Will. Killegrew which was read unto the King These evill Counsellors have discovered themselves Let the whole Kingdom judge how pleasing it is and what peace was to be expected The Author concludes with a lamentable story from his wife every man can quickly tell what he deserves 't is true his house was searched there being good cause but 't is as true That although his Lady discovered her selfe an enemy to the Parliament there was not nor yet is there any thing carried away to the bignesse of a Nutt but all left where it was then found ORdered by the Commons in Parliament That this Declaration the Letters the List of the names and the Ordinance of the 17 of December 1642. be Printed and published Hen. Elsynge Cler. Parl. D. Com. SIR I Should be very glad to heare the King should have his Navy Revenue his Forts and Magazins restored but I hope the King will not finish the Treaty but with his two Houses of Parliament being full with the same Members as at the first for if the King permit all those that were for him to be thrust out then I believe hee will find hereafter none to stand for him But it is against the Law and right of the Subject that any being legally elected should be put out of the house but for some offences against the known Laws of the Kingdom And the two Houses being so filled as at the first the King need not doubt but all things will proceed from them to his Honour and greatnesse And other ways from the sixth or seventh part of the House who as all the World knows have traiterously plotted his ruine and our overthrow our Religion Laws Liberties Can it be thought possible that from that faction the King can ever receive honour and right And I pray let me say some thing to you concerning a generall pardon the which I know they will in the end much presse for First all those that have served the King will desire none nor need any And if the King should grant to all the Lords and others that have taken up and born arms and made war against his owne person and his Forces I verily believe you will quickly see another war again and besides how will the King pay his debts now made for this war and recompence those that have adventured their lives and have spent their fortunes and have bin undone by their plundrings And if the King will not punish the one and reward his faithfull Servants I doe believe the King will be in worse estate by such a Peace then hee was at the beginning of this war I am far from disswading a pardon to be given to the poore common people that have bin seduced and some for feare and by force have been constrained to this unnaturall and unlawfull war But all those in every County that have good estates that have contributed and have in person taken arms against the King to be excepted in which inquiry there must be great care taken other ways many rich notorious Traitors may escape And therefore the King as I conceive must send to those he most trusts in every Shire to certifie the names of those that ought to be exempted out of the generall pardon as wee have now done by Sir Peregrine Bartue for our County of Lincolne I will say nothing to you of the taking of Grantham for the
